Hello hello!
It’s finally nice out here in Ottawa! We can start using all of our spring-summer clothes and accessories.
This week I have a super fun project, something that everybody likes to crochet.
A beautiful Summer Wrap. Perfect for those cool-ish evenings where you need to throw something light on.
Pin now, crochet later!
This gorgeous shawl it’s perfect for beginners, and it is made using a repetitive pattern, which makes it perfect to crochet on the go or while watching a show on Netflix.
Features stripes of different widths and colours.
The colour combinations are endless!
This wrap is wide enough to cover your shoulders and keep you from the chilli nights, but it’s also light and flowy that you could use it as a scarf if you wanted to.
This summer shawl was made using 100% cotton, DK (category #3).
I will link the yarn alternatives that you can use for this shawl, as it was yarn that I bought in another country so it would be complicated to find in North America or Europe.
As always, I will leave the Ad-Free Pattern PDF for you to purchase, this version also includes crochet charts which is so very helpful!
You can also find it on my Etsy Store or Ravelry Store
